I have a nice stereo that came stock in a car manufactured in '99 that seems to take FOREVER to locate tracks on burned CDs. It will play fine from beginning to end but will not seek. It does not have this problem on the originals. Anyone overcame this little pain in the *** before?

Are you using the "disc at once" option on your burning software? It lays out the files more like a store-bought CD. Most burning software has this option. I know for sure Nero does.
You could try burning at slower speeds for better quality. Better media (can't go wrong with Verbatim)... Try disks made on different writers and / or with different software if possible... See if anything works...
Could be your car stereo is just having trouble reading recordable disks... The fact that they'll play and not seek makes me think "disk at once" or one of the other things I mentioned might be the answer though.
Good luck!!!

1. Consider what your car plays. Most standard car stereos only play audio cd's of wma and not mp3s. 2. Configure your settings on your Windows Media Player. It may be that you're just transferring songs to a blank cd and not really burning them. 3. If that doesn't work, there is a great program: easy to use, simple, straight-forward called Nero. Google it. :)

yes the encoded info at the beginning and digital signal for the tract doesn't seem to come out in the burn. And it seems to be the newer CD's My old collection 60 70 and 80 music the info gets onto the burn copy Might be time for the Ipod upgrade run inputs into a newer receiver. The old Lazar reader does not like all of those tracts squeezed onto one cd. Time to put the 1999 out to pasture. And new receivers Have XM, Sirius traffic reports Television, and Navigation

It is probably because some cd players's just don't read CDRs well. CDRs are more difficult to read than CD ROM because the data isn't burned as deep. You may want to experiment with different brands and colors of CDR. Good Luck

as you are using a cdr I suppose that you are burning at a very high speed ,try very low speeds in my case it did work. normally the originals are burned by companies using special high quality writers , if in case the CD is still have problems then i am sure the lens is not being able to pick because the data is being burnt "shallow"

Ran across this once when a friend had used a CD RW instead of a CDR. I have never had a problem when using CDR's

Burn your CD at the slowest speed will solve your problem.
